Is Pinnaroo Point good for beginners?

Yes for the easy bits — herring and squid from the high rocks on calm days are accessible with light tackle. Beginners should avoid the lower ledges in any swell and stick to the upper outcrop until they're confident reading sets.

What size squid jig works at Pinnaroo Point?

2.5 to 3.0 size jigs in pink, orange or natural patterns are the staple. Worked slowly across the reef edges in the last hour of light or first hour after dawn is the classic setup.

Can you fish Pinnaroo Point at night?

Yes — mulloway are the standout target after dark. Stick to the upper rocks if you don't know the spot, and use a head torch. Avoid the lower ledges entirely at night unless you've fished them in daylight first.

Where's the best place to park for Pinnaroo Point?

The Pinnaroo Point Beach car park immediately behind the outcrop is the closest. It's a short, sealed walk to the rocks. The car park fills on summer weekends, so arriving early or picking a weekday is sensible.
